Tire & Alignment Service in San Rafael, CA
Proper wheel alignment is essential for safe driving, even tire wear, and fuel efficiency. At AmayaS' Auto Repair in San Rafael, we offer precision alignment service using modern equipment for all makes and models. We recommend pairing alignment service with a brake inspection for complete safety.
Misaligned wheels cause your tires to wear unevenly, reduce fuel economy, and make your vehicle pull to one side. Regular alignment checks, especially after hitting a pothole or curb, can save you hundreds in premature tire replacement. Add an oil change while you're in and keep everything on schedule.

How to Tell If You Need a Wheel Alignment
Vehicle pulls left or right
You have to constantly correct the steering to drive straight
Uneven tire wear
One side of the tread wears faster than the other
Steering wheel is off-center
The wheel isn't straight when driving on a flat road
Vibration in the steering wheel
Especially noticeable at highway speeds
Squealing tires
Misaligned tires can cause noise when turning
After hitting a pothole or curb
Even a minor impact can knock your alignment out
If any of these sound familiar, don't wait, bad alignment destroys tires fast. Call (415) 747-8541 to schedule an alignment check.
Tips to Extend Your Tire Life
Check tire pressure monthly
Underinflated tires wear faster, reduce fuel economy, and can overheat. Use the PSI listed on your door jamb, not the tire sidewall.
Rotate tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles
Front and rear tires wear differently. Regular rotation keeps wear even and extends tire life.
Get an alignment after any impact
Potholes, curbs, and speed bumps can throw your alignment off. A quick check can prevent expensive uneven wear.
Inspect tread depth regularly
Use the penny test: insert a penny head-first into the tread. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, it's time for new tires.
Don't mix tire types
Running mismatched tires affects handling, braking, and can damage your drivetrain.
